Student dresses as a lobster and is left red-faced after classmates fail to turn up to school in costumes
George Youel arranged a dress up day but when he arrived after half term he was shell-shocked to find no-one else had
A STUDENT who tried to arrange a dress up day for his fellow pupils was left shell-shocked when he arrived at school as a lobster and realised no-one else had joined in.
George Youel, 18, lived out one of everyone's biggest fears when he turned up to school after half term in fancy dress to find all his classmates in casual clothes.
The 18-year-old, who was dressed as a huge, red shellfish, experienced that sinking feeling as soon as he stepped foot into one of the classrooms at Banbury College.
George had organised a Halloween dress up day for his fellow pupils to come back to just before they broke up for half term on October 21.
"Everyone agreed," George tells Metro.co.uk.
"People were showing me pictures of what they were going to wear. I was so excited for this.".
But George's face was left the same colour as his costume when he entered the room and noticed that no-one else had dressed up.
"I’d proudly slid on my lobster suit and made my way to college, where I pulled into the car park and it finally hit me, I had been stood up looking like a mug," says George.
The teen was expecting to walk into a school full of ghosts, witches and Harley Quinns and but was disappointed when he saw that no-one else had taken part, although he still hadn't lost hope.
"I still had faith in my course that they would’ve at least put some fake blood on," he explained.
"I walked to my class with pride, only to find out no one had dressed up but myself.
"Even the teacher was in stitches when he saw my lobster."
But it wasn't all bad for George, his hilarious stunt turned him into a bit of a local celebrity, as other students started surrounding him in the car park and taking Snapchats of him.
And while most people would've scurried on home, a defiant George kept his head up high and spent the whole day walking around the grounds as a giant lobster.
George said: "I decided to stand my ground at this point and continue being the lobster I always dreamed of being."
